Sarotti Citronen-Schnitte : Lemon Slices : packaging design by Julius Gipkens : in : Das Plakat : Die Packung : Sonder Heft, September 1920 : Verlag Das Plakat : Charlottenburg 2 , Berlin, Deutschland :

What luscious design work for Sarotti Citronen-Schnitte (Zitronen) - Lemon Slices packaging and labels by Julius Gipkens. Gipkens (1883 - 1968) was a largely self-taught designer inspired by the works of Lucien Bernhart; in later years his own work became influential in the German style of 'Plakatstil'. He fled Germany in 1933 and emigrated to the United States. It is one of a series of chocolate labels he designed for Sarotti and that appear in this issue of Das Plaket.

 

Sarotti have their origins in Berlin in 1868 and in later years were bought out by Nestlé. They in turn sold the brand on to Stollwerck in 1998. The label was printed by Emil Gerasch of Leipzig.
